Topic: Sucrocide for Varroa (Read 1916 times)

I stopped using Apistan several years ago. I use screened bottom boards and Sucrocide only. I spray down between the frames 6 or 8 times per year especially in early spring and in the fall. I have occasionally taken out each frame and soaked every bee but this is a lot of work and they tend to crawl up inside my pants legs. (Feeling bees crawling up your thighs will make you stop what what you're doing really fast).

I don't use sticky boards and count because it's a lot of trouble and I couldn't tell the difference between a mite and a speck of dirt.
